When I took my lower door panels off of my '68, I noticed that there was more than one type of clip holding them on. Is there any vendor that offers a kit with all the fasteners needed? Or can I pretty much go to the parts store and get something similar?

you need these and these I think.  Don't know if you can get the foam ones at the local though.
Selling sets on ebay right now, that's where I got the pics.  Couldn't find a dedicated set all in one package though.

I prefer using only the style mike shows in the lower pic(although they are only for the trim panels the upper pads or "bolsters" use thier own clip).....They hold better and they are alot easier on the trim panels.

Yeah I wish I could find a stash of those foam ones cheap.  Those wire ones are a nightmare. :brickwall:

Hmm I searched Legendary's site and couldn't find anything like in Mike second picture, or any door clips for that matter? Anyone mind linking me to the Ebay auction(s) or to the place at Legendary? So I should just get the one type of clip then? That makes it easier

yup, those are just the originals with the foam and all.  I guess you could get the repops and get some foam from the hardware store and make your own.  Not a bad idea actually

Ledgendary Does have them, or atleast they did, cause I got a whole box from them when I did my Charger....pretty sure they were in a Mopar package too now that I think about it.


Also they did have the foam on them.

I guess I'll call Legendary Monday then. Brian, do you remember the price? How many clips do I need for both front and both rear door panels?

I just got off the phone with Legendary and they said all they had were the wire type clips. Ebay it is I guess. Can someone tell me how many clips each front and rear door panel takes?

Bah yeah, the guy on the phone was pretty helpful . . . he said that he was pretty sure they used to carry a second type clip like the one I described. A day late . . .  :brickwall:
